"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"
At this moment, in Ye Shen Village, at Kazuya's home, three people were gathering together. Among them, two were Kazuya and Harumi, and the other was a man with a rough face and a strong body.
"Goro, I didn't believe it at first. But..." Kazuya looked around and said, "But you should also know the 'legend', right?"
"That's just a legend, do you really believe it? Kazuya, it must be..."
"Anyway, Goro, don't go into the woods these days, especially don't get close to 'that place'. I'd like to remind you, it's better to believe something like this than to believe it doesn't."
When he walked out the door, Matsuda Goro raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was past ten o'clock. Harumi beside him also had a gloomy expression.
Harumi broke up with Goro not long after, and she also returned to her home.
As soon as she opened the door, she said, "Brother, I'm back."
"You're back." A sliding door in the corridor opened, and the person walking out was not Yachen, or who? After he walked out the door, he saw the unnatural expression on his younger sister Harumi Kanhara, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Harumi?"
"No, nothing, brother."
Harumi thinks that it is better not to tell her brother what Kazuya told her.
She was worried that Yachen would continue to ask, but Yachen didn't ask, but instead said: "Harumi, I saw someone today. Do you know who it is?"
"Who?" Harumi was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, who is it? Brother?"
"Do you still remember the detective Miyo admired the most during her lifetime, Sayoko Kamiya?"
"Ah, of course I remember. My sister-in-law was a die-hard fan of Sayoko Kamiya during her lifetime. You... You don't mean to say that you met her, right?"
"It's true. When I went to Yizi's house, I met her. I didn't recognize her at first, but after a closer look, it was indeed her. Miyo showed me news reports about her many times before. She herself is a Very easy-going person, I thought that a celebrity like her would be more arrogant. Miyo always said that she hoped to meet her, but unexpectedly... "
"Brother..." Harumi felt very uncomfortable.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed, mom and dad are already in bed."
Ya Chen turned his head and walked towards the stairs. Looking at his back, Harumi sighed in her heart: Brother, I still can't forget my sister-in-law. Although it's been so long, I still can't forget my sister-in-law.
Back in her room, Harumi closed the door and made the floor.
"No matter what, I will definitely go to the city after entering the university. Maybe this Great Twilight Ridge is really a bit evil."
Then, she walked to the rope hanging under the lamp, stretched out her hand and pulled the rope down, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness. Then, Harumi made the floor and lay down. However, she felt like she couldn't fall asleep.
What Kazuya said during the day still echoed in her mind. In the woods of Great Twilight Ridge, and, in "that place"...
"Damn it, if I knew I wouldn't go out to see Kazuya today... Goro is right, it's simply impossible."
In the middle of the night, Ye Shen Village fell into complete silence. On the road outside, almost no one was there.
It's bound to be a sleepless night...
Kamiya Sayoko didn't sleep all night. She was lying on the wall, and Sima Zhen and Pei Qingyi beside her were not sleepy either. However, Sima Zhen also started to yawn later on, but Pei Qingyi looked like an owl, his eyes were wide open and he didn't even blink.
"Are you... not sleepy at all?" Kamiya Sayoko asked.
"I'm used to staying up late, and I slept in the apartment for a while during the day." Pei Qingyi looked at Sayoko Kamiya and replied, "It's you, your eyelids are always fighting."
"I'm a little sleepy..." Sayoko Kamiya looked at her watch: "There is still a little time before the bloody letter officially starts at midnight. However, it still looks very dangerous."
"Tell me about the progress. Did you install a bug in the house of that girl named Kiuchi Yoshiko?"
"Yep."
If you look carefully, you will find that Kamiya Sayoko has earphones inserted in both ears.
"Won't the bug be found?" Pei Qingyi seemed uneasy and asked: "If it is assured, it would be bad if the people in the village became hostile to us."
"I've been a detective for so long. If this bug can be found, wouldn't my reputation as a detective be in vain?"
"That would be best."
Listening through the earphones, Yoshiko Kiuchi obviously hasn't fallen asleep yet. Her breathing was very rapid, and she could hear the sound of pages turning from time to time. She should be reading a book now.
Judging by the sound of the bug, everything is normal.
Soon after, Yoshiko Kiuchi turned off the light and seemed to fall asleep.
It was getting closer and closer to midnight. The tense atmosphere made the residents almost hold their breath. At this time, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin also woke up.
The moment the clock hits midnight, something horrific can happen. Everyone was full of vigilance, the lights in the room were turned on brightly, especially Pei Qingyi, while looking at his watch, a strong murderous look even flashed across his face.
Her fingers kept flicking on the tatami, and her fingernails were painted as bright red as blood.
"Well... chatting, okay?" Sima really felt that the atmosphere was too stiff, so he smoothed things over: "Well, Miss Pei, you look very calm, do you have any ideas?"
Pei Qingyi shook his head and said, "I don't have any idea. I used to be just an ordinary white-collar worker. Entering this apartment, my life was completely ruined. Before I entered this apartment, I already had a chance to be promoted. Going to the top management of the company, fulfilling my long-cherished wish. But now, I have nothing, and even this life has become like a candle in the wind."
Seeing the pained look on Pei Qingyi's face at this moment, Kamiya Sayoko sighed heavily, and said, "I know. I also know what a terrible reality entering this apartment represents, but there is no way for people to go back to the past." Yes. Therefore, we only have to face the reality in front of us. At least, we still have a glimmer of life. Completion of ten blood-letter instructions means that we are one step closer to freedom. Every resident is holding this tiny The hope of living, living to be able to leave this apartment... ”
"It's a pity..." Pei Qingyi said in a self-deprecating tone: "There are very few people in this world who can recognize this. Although they can't go back to the past, people still want to escape from reality. There are too many cruel places in reality. So people can only live by deceiving themselves."
"I agree with your words." Sayoko Kamiya echoed.
"If... people can be like ghosts, they can exist only by idealism, and there won't be so much pain."
But the reality is that people, after all, can only choose to face reality. No matter how cruel reality is, if you don't have the ability to change, you have to face it.
"Comparatively speaking, it's not bad to have the chance to leave after ten times of blood." Pei Qingyi said thoughtfully: "In this world, there are more unfortunate and painful things than entering that apartment. There are countless. Sometimes, even this kind of vitality may not be possessed."
The room was silent.
"I agree with your words."
At midnight, it finally arrived.
At this time, the five residents are all ready to escape at any time. At this moment, especially Sayoko Kamiya, her eyes were as cold as ice that could not be melted for thousands of years.
However, nothing happened.
One hour, two hours, three hours... everything seemed too normal, and there was no scary existence around them.
As for the bug, there was no abnormal sound.
In a state of fear and anxiety, the five residents finally ushered in the daytime. During this time, nothing happened.
It's too normal to appear abnormal.
Early in the morning, Harumi woke up. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw her brother was already busy cooking in the kitchen. He always gets up earlier than his mother, because his mother's waist is very bad, so his brother always gets up early to cook. When the elder sister-in-law Miyo Kamihara was still alive, she was in charge.
"Brother..." Harumi walked into the kitchen, looked at her brother's concentration, and said, "What are you doing today?"
"Pancakes, isn't this Harumi's favorite dish?" Yachen looked at his sister with a smile and said, "Mom and Dad haven't woken up yet?"
Harumi looked at her brother wearing an apron, and suddenly felt sad. She remembered how her sister-in-law looked when she was cooking, just like her brother now.
"Brother, you still miss your sister-in-law very much, don't you?"
Yachen, who was holding the spatula, trembled slightly. He slowly turned his head to his sister, and asked with an unnatural expression, "What are you talking about, Harumi?"
At this time, suddenly there was an electric bell at the door.
Yachen immediately said: "Go and open the door, Harumi."
After hearing this, Harumi hurried to the gate, opened it and saw five people standing outside, three men and two women. One of the leading women asked: "Is this... the home of Masami Kamihara?"
"You guys, aren't you from the village?" Harumi was a little surprised, suddenly she noticed the woman who spoke, she felt very familiar, recalled it, and suddenly screamed: "You, you are Kamiya Sayoko?"
Thinking of what her brother said last night, Harumi also became excited!
"You know me too?" The woman's words were tantamount to admitting her identity. This made Harumi even more excited, and said: "I, I have been hearing about you from my sister-in-law before, she admires you very much. Ah, but you came to..."
"Yesterday, I met with Mr. Masami Kanbara. I have some questions, and I want to ask..."
"Is there something... I want to ask?" Harumi thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Miss Kamiya, are you here to investigate some cases? I heard that the Metropolitan Police Department often entrusts you with some big cases." to investigate."
At this time, she looked at the people behind her and thought, could these people be the police? What happened to make the famous goddess of labor lean out? She remembered that the cases that Sayoko Kamiya mentioned by her sister-in-law before were all very vicious, and the police felt that they were in a state of distress.
"What I want to ask is very simple." Kamiya Sayoko's next words were very short, but it made Kamihara Harumi's heart skip a beat: "It's about the death of your sister-in-law, Ms. Kamihara Miyo."
